We consider the problem of qualitative approximation by solutions of a constant coefficients homogeneous elliptic equation in the Lipschitz and BMO norms. Our method of proof is well-known: we find a sufficient condition for the approximation reducing matters to a weak spectral synthesis problem in an appropriate Lizorkin-Triebel space. A couple of examples, evolving from one due to Hedberg, show that our conditions are sharp.
The spectral synthesis theorem for Sobolev spaces of Hedberg and Wolff [7] has been applied in combination with duality, to problems of Lq approximation by analytic and harmonic functions. In fact, such applications were one of the main motivations to consider spectral synthesis problems in the Sobolev space setting. In this paper we go the opposite way in the context of the BMO-H1 duality: we prove a BMO approximation theorem by harmonic functions and then we apply the ideas in its proof to produce...
The following results concerning boundary behavior of subharmonic functions in the unit ball of are generalized to nontangential accessible domains in the sense of Jerison and Kenig [7]: (i) The classical theorem of Littlewood on the radial limits. (ii) Ziomek’s theorem on the -nontangential limits. (iii) The localized version of the above two results and nontangential limits of Green potentials under a certain nontangential condition.
Let be harmonic in the half-space , . We show that can have a fine limit at almost every point of the unit cubs in but fail to have a nontangential limit at any point of the cube. The method is probabilistic and utilizes the equivalence between conditional Brownian motion limits and fine limits at the boundary.In it is known that the Hardy classes , , may be described in terms of the integrability of the nontangential maximal function, or, alternatively, in terms of the integrability...
For a shape optimization problem second derivatives are investigated, obtained by a special approach for the description of the boundary variation and the use of a potential ansatz for the state. The natural embedding of the problem in a Banach space allows the application of a standard differential calculus in order to get second derivatives by a straight forward "repetition of differentiation". Moreover, by using boundary value characerizations for more regular data, a complete boundary integral...
